Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
רָ֣חֲקוּ מֶ֑נִּי
keep_aloof from,me
Staying away from Job, that is, not approaching him or speaking with him, was a symbolic action that conveyed disrespect and disapproval. Even though physically it was the same thing that young men formerly did to show respect for Job, discreetly withdrawing from his presence, now it had the opposite meaning. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: “they stay away from me to show their disapproval” or “they shun me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק
and,at,face,my not hesitate spit
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb withhold. Alternate translation: “but they spit in my face”
Note 3 topic: translate-symaction
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק
and,at,face,my not hesitate spit
Spitting in Job’s face was a symbolic action that showed contempt for him as someone who was presumably a sinner. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. See how you translated the similar expression in 17:6. Alternate translation: “but they spit contemptuously in my face”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּ֝מִפָּנַ֗י לֹא־חָ֥שְׂכוּ רֹֽק
and,at,face,my not hesitate spit
Job does not mean that these young men spit at him from a distance, even though he says that they stay away from him. He means that when they must unavoidably pass near him, they use the occasion to spit in his face. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “but they spit contemptuously in my face when they pass by”
